Most of the calendar apps I see use Google calendar. I don’t want to use Google calendar. I don’t want to have to keep continually syncing up my computer to the iPhone. I maintained my appointments on my Blackberry.

*heavy sigh*

I too have an iPhone, and it’s really not as simple to use as they’d like to have us believe. I recently upgraded mine, & discovered that it now lists my calendars & contacts in triplicate (it never did this before), and I can’t figure out how to stop that. I think I need a trip to the AT&T store soon to get some things figured out. Technology – it’s the devil!

Hi Dava-to be honest, no, I didn’t have this much trouble with Blackberry-learning curve, sure, but I found it much more intuitive when dealing with these issues. The calendar is very easy. When I create an invite to a meeting, I simply select the email address I want to send it from through a drop-down menu.

Any recommendations for calendar apps? Thanks for your perspective, Dava. I appreciate the pep talk. 🙂

As much as I love Apple products, and as intuitive as I think they are, there’s always going to be a lag of several days while you get up to speed on something new. Did you feel this way when you first got your Blackberry?

One way to handle it would be to use a pencil and paper just for a little while, until you find the right calendar solution for your needs. There are tons of calendar apps out there, and lots of review sites so that you can find out what others think before trying them out.

Sorry you are struggling with it, and I hope that you find a solution that works for you soon.

I have an insurance plan on the phone and even the tech people couldn’t find a solution for me.

In any event, thanks for weighing in, Sherrie. I do appreciate it. 🙂

There is always a big learning curve with new technology. It feels like you are wading through mud while learning. Once you get used to it and everything is set up you’ll adapt and maybe even like it. Give it a chance, I say! 🙂
